The Jets are expected to re-sign free agent LB Julian Stanford.

Stanford was released by the Jets on Friday, which also happened to be his wedding day. Per ESPN's Rich Cimini, the Jets were required to release Stanford by April 15 because he ended last year on injured reserve. Assuming he's brought back, Stanford will serve as depth behind starters David Harris and Darron Lee at inside linebacker. Sun, Apr 16, 2017 09:22:00 AM

Smith tore his ACL in late April and will spend all of his third NFL season on injured reserve. The 37th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Smith will enter 2018 having appeared in just 14-of-48 possible games. If it makes Jets fans feel any better, Smith was taken just ahead of fellow receiver disappointments Dorial Green-Beckham (No. 40) and Devin Funchess (No. 41).

Quincy Enunwa underwent successful surgery to repair a bulging disc in his neck on Tuesday.

The surgery comes with a 6-9 month recovery. Headed for free agency this offseason, it's uncertain what the future holds for Enunwa, who led the Jets with a career-best 857 receiving yards in 2016. Neck injuries are notoriously difficult to recover from.
